Summer Leadership Institute (SLI)

Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) event logo

TASB's annual Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) is our flagship training conference designed to offer new and experienced school trustees a place to create their own learning journey.

Each year at SLI, we:

  • Share key information with new board members
  • Offer practical tips for newly elected board officers
  • Provide experienced trustees with innovative practices and emerging trends

Our members have a choice to attend the SLI event that best fits their schedule and location preference – in San Antonio or Fort Worth. The two events are nearly identical in schedule, session offerings, and general session speakers.

Session Submissions Window Extended – Submit by March 31!

The session submission application for Summer Leadership Institute(s) opens Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, and closes Tuesday Mar. 31, 2026.

We invite you to share your expertise and contribute to an enriching learning experience for Texas school board members. Preference is given to proposals that feature innovative, evidence-based content, engage audiences through interactive instructional design, and provide real-world relevance through case studies. Help inspire and inform trustees with fresh perspectives and impactful discussions. Don’t miss this opportunity—submit your session today!
